I am not trying to butt heads at all with the ICCA. I just don't think $30,000
for someone to sanction an event is worth spending. I think $30,000 can buy a
shit load of beer.. don't you?

I can stand politics. What I can't stand is a governing body that is simply
money hungry. That is my point of going above the ICCA. If they want to sanction
the event for _FREE_ then by all means I will co-operate immediately.

Bruce I can see your point and I agree we definately need a NACCC. I don't think
European players will attend the event if it was called the NACCC. I could be
wrong. Wanna find out?
